My artist bio...I don't know what else to put here.

Cecelia Ivy is a former Cleveland-based artist, activist, and educator as well as a multiracial woman living in New York. Ivy aspires to create a non-profit in the future that supports living-as-an-artist; especially women who've overcome trauma and other mental health challenges, such as those she has personally faced.

She creates bold, riots of color compositions infused with a passion for figures, urban street art, vanitas, and tattoo culture that reflect different aspects of her multiracial background. Her paintings have been shown both nationally and internationally. Embracing a rich and colorful palette, some of her work intensifies the joy of life, marred by great loss.

Cecelia has completed her master's degree in Art Education. She was recognized by Château d'Orquevaux and awarded the A-i-R Grant in Orquevaux, France in 2020. Currently Ivy is working on a series of tarot paintings titled The Phantasmagoria and is the owner of Artistic Chaos Studios.
